BMW F650GS launch imminent in India
4 May '12
BMW Motorrad is bringing in their on-off road-styled F650GS to India this May with an introductory price of Rs 9.99 lakh, ex-showroom. The price is expected to go up to Rs 12 lakh after three months. The engine is a fuel-injected 800cc parallel twin which has a power output of 72PS and peak torque of 75Nm - figures comparable to the Kawasaki Ninja 650R. A 6-speed gearbox handles the transmission duties. The F650 name is familiar to us thanks to the eponymous Funduro that BMW launched here ages ago in association with Hero, though its price tag was well ahead of its time.
BMW motorcycles have come to India with Navnit Motors as their exclusive dealer and have been so far, selling a range of motorcycles including the two icons of the brand, the S1000RR sportsbike and the original giant transcontinenal off-roader, the R1200GS. The achilles heel has been pricing - both the icons cost nearly Rs 20 lakh. BMW will see increased sales from this vastly more affordable motorcycle although the pricing when compared to its displacement peers remains on the high side. BMW is currently the sole Indian CBU motorcycle outfit without direct Indian representation. BMW currently has dealers in Mumbai and Bangalore.

Daimler to raise Chennai unit capacity to 36k units in 2014
Merc-maker's Indian subsidiary, the Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), will kick-start the next phase of capacity expansion of 36,000 units in its Chennai plant in 2014.
Despite a meager 3% growth of the Indian commercial vehicle market last fiscal, DICV is banking on infrastructure, consumer durables and automobiles sector to push sales of its 9 to 49 tonne trucks. DICV expects to grab a 20% market share in the Indian CV market by 2020, Sreeram Venkateswaran, assistant VP (marketing and sales), DICV said.
The CVs from the Daimler stable will be launched in September 2012. DICV will sell 2500 units in 2012 calendar, he added. Daimler will play in the arena that has players like Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Eicher Motors Ltd, et al.
Daimler says it will try to increase the life of the fleet and hence, minimize the burden on truck owners through its range that is high on functionality, comfort and safety.
"Big fleet owners in India are known to replace part of their fleet once in four years. DICV range would be less maintenance and hence, not burdensome for truck owners," he said.
The company has invested Rs 4,400 crore in India and expects its Chennai plant to run full steam by 2014. By 2013, we would use 55% of our current 36,000 capacity and once the plant runs full steam, the second phase of capacity expansion would begin, he said.
